Does TEDA Union recommend replacing China with Türkiye?
No. The sourcing decision depends on the product, economics, capacity, standards and buyer requirements. Türkiye can be evaluated as an additional or alternative route.
SUPPLY-CHAIN DIVERSIFICATION · TÜRKİYE
Turkey as an alternative sourcing route for U.S. buyers.
A sourcing decision does not have to be framed as one country replacing another. TEDA Union helps U.S. buyers evaluate Türkiye as an additional or alternative manufacturing route around product fit, economics, capability, lead time and commercial requirements.
